Price and cost of ownership of Agilent 6890N 5975 GC/MS System with Tekmar Atomx XYZ Trap & Purge

Investing in the Agilent 6890N GC with 5975 Mass Selective Detector and Tekmar Atomx XYZ Purge & Trap System provides a reliable and efficient solution for VOC analysis in water, soil, and air. A new system typically costs around $101,000, while a certified refurbished unit averages approximately $50,000, offering significant savings without compromising performance. The 6890N GC delivers stable and precise separations, the 5975 MSD enables accurate trace-level detection, and the Atomx XYZ integrates autosampling with purge-and-trap concentration for streamlined sample preparation and high throughput, supporting methods such as EPA 524.2 and 624. Ongoing costs include carrier gases, traps, and standard GC/MS consumables, along with routine maintenance and calibration. Refurbished systems are fully tested and often include warranty support, making this configuration a cost-effective and dependable choice for environmental and water quality laboratories.

Precision Purge-and-Trap GC/MS Analysis for VOC Detection and Regulatory Compliance

The Agilent 6890N GC with 5975 Mass Selective Detector paired with the Tekmar Atomx XYZ Purge and Trap System is widely used for detecting and quantifying volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in water, soil, and air samples, including solvents and industrial pollutants. The purge and trap system efficiently extracts VOCs from samples and transfers them to the gas chromatograph for separation, while the mass spectrometer accurately identifies and measures compounds at trace levels. This configuration is commonly used in environmental testing laboratories for drinking water, wastewater, and soil analysis, as well as in pharmaceutical and food testing to monitor residual solvents and contaminants. It is fully aligned with methods such as EPA 8260B, 524.2, and 524.3, which require purge-and-trap GC/MS for sensitive VOC detection. With automated sampling, high sensitivity, and strong reproducibility, this system provides reliable performance for laboratories operating under strict regulatory requirements.
